Look at the sweet little bird on the handle of this coffee mug.

Pumpkin People

Check out these cuties! I saw the project on Martha Stewart Living's website. I made twelve to send to friends and family. The hardest part was pulling the pipe cleaners through the body to make the arms and legs. Make sure you have a rather strong upholstery needle. The directions called for velvet leaves but I could not find them at Michael's or Joann Fabrics so I just improvised with a Fall flower arrangement that I had.
